HOW WE OPERATE

POWERING GEORGIA

For the 38 EMCs we serve, a significant amount of the power they distribute comes from Oglethorpe Power. Using a diverse energy portfolio, we supply energy that is delivered to millions of homes, businesses and public institutions.

Through high-voltage power lines, electricity is transmitted across Georgia’s electric grid, connecting millions to reliable and affordable energy.

Distribution

Local EMCs deliver electricity to homes and businesses over separate networks of lower-voltage distribution lines.

GEORGIA'S ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES

Our customers are 38 of Georgia's electric membership corporations (EMCs). These member-owned electric utilities distribute power to their customers: residents, businesses and public institutions. That’s about 4.1 million people across Georgia.

WHY RELIABLE POWER MATTERS

We know reliable energy isn’t just a nice idea, it’s a necessity. That’s why we work with our EMC Members to meet their existing and expanding power supply needs, ensuring Georgians have the power they need.

ATTENTION TO SAFETY

We all deserve a safe place to work. To ensure the safety of our associates, contractors and visitors, we’re committed to anticipating hazards, promoting safe work behaviors and reinforcing our “Generate Safety” message.
